Hello sir,
This is very useful blog. I have a problem, Give me a solution.
How to find out the the user wise lookup in an entity in which look up is mapped with that entity in ms crm 2011
I have a lookup in an entity and i want to show the value in that lookup which is assigned that user. For e.g: I have a entity Ultimate and i have a lookup Agency in the entity “ultimate”. I want when a user login and create a new ultimate then onload, Agency will show, in which that ageny mappened with that user. Also when system admin or any other user create ultimate Entity, then agency will show according to that user in MS CRM 2011

Thanks for the compliment Vivek,
I hope, you have relationship between user and agency entity ?? you can write a javascript to populate agency based on user id.
Hope it will help you

Thanx for the reply.
Ya , I have relationship beween user and agency. I have write a javascript for identify the agency look up id in a user. From this when i open ultimate entity , the agency will show according to that user but now the problem is, it only shows a agency icon, not the name. It will show agency name after saving it. I want agency name will show onload of ultimate entity.
plz suggest me.

if (result == null)
return “”;
else
return result.text;
}
var num = (GetAttributeValueFromID(“systemuser”, userid, “nadrs_userid”, “systemuserid”));
var value = new Array();
var agency = new Object();
agency.typename= “nadrs_agency”;
agency.id =num;
//agency.name=num.name;
value[0] =agency;
Xrm.Page.getAttribute(“nadrs_agencyid”).setValue(value);
//Xrm.Page.getAttribut(“nadrs_agencyid”).setValue([{id: num, name: "nadrs_userid", entityType: "systemuser"}]);
//Xrm.Page.getAttribute(“nadrs_agencyid”).setValue( [{id: "idValue", name: "textValue", entityType: "typeValue"}]);
}
}
it will give me user id and agency id in user entity. I want to found agency name . How it will display on load in the ultimate entity in agency lookup..

Hey in your blog, the code is not correctly published here. I don’t know why. But i have only copy and paste my code here. But in this page , it will not display.

Can you help me with few lines of code using CRM 2011 SDK to retrieve all the Active directory groups that a user in context belongs to?
To give you some background, i have requirement to implement user profile role based access funtionality in my project. The project is coded using .net csharp. But some parts of this project are hosted on CRM as hosted and webhosted applications.
Groups like payments, frontoffice ..etc have been created in Active Directory and users are assinged to one of these groups when they join and removed if they leave. Hence it is essential for us to use active directory to retrieve any information. I am not sure how to go about this implementation. If you can help with some idea and also few lines of code to get user groups from AD, that would be much appreciated.

Hi,
For that you need to query Active Directory to get user information in your CRM plugin, you can refer
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.directoryservices.aspx
you will get lot’s of sample code in search engine how to query active directory using c#.
hope it will help you.
